R6: Vegas - Do you play?

[Requiem]

For anyone who plays this -amazing- game (on 360, since I couldn't care less about the PC version), post your gamertag.

BroodiestOtep is what I use on XBL (not mine, but I use it). Just hit Captain yesterday for the deagle and spas 12 shotgun. Love this game. I play it pretty much every day for a few hours with a RL friend.

So now, use this thread to post your tags for it, and to talk about one of the greatest shooters ever.

[DS]

Play both versions. :D

[Requiem]

Nah. I can't see using PC controls on this game. It just feels perfect on the 360, and I would mess myself up if I got used to the PC controls.

[DS]

I meant that I play both versions. The PC is a lot more accurate for it but I like the 360 version too.

[Requiem]

See, that's why I like the 360 version. The harder aiming makes it more of a challenge, and those that actually get good at it can be a lot better than others. PC first person shooter games.. just.. meh, I don't like how anyone can be really good at them. Of course, in PC shooters, you're either good or you're not.. there is no inbetween or varying grades of skill mostly.

[DS]

Speaking of good FPS on the 360, Battlefield: Bad Company looks great.

[G]

private first class

[Requiem]

Once you start going through the ranks, it becomes pretty addicting trying to unlock the new weapons/armor/camo and everything.

[Disturbed316]

I love this game, haven't played it for about a week now though, which is probably the longest I've gone since I got it that I haven't played it.

Cant remember what class I'm at, it's pretty high though.

[Requiem]

Yeah, it's been a few days since I've played it but only because I haven't been around a 360. Were you up to the officer ranks at least? (bars were the start of the officer ranks)

[Requiem]

Also, can't wait for the new maps and game types, and the new ranks. I'm hoping to hit at least Colonel by the time the patch hits, but I wouldn't be surprised if I make it to Elite by then. :cool: Same with a friend of mine.. he's a Major, if not Lieutenant Colonel already.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah the new game modes sound really good fun, although the amount of bitching and whining that will happen if the VIP goes off on his own and gets killed will be through the roof. Hopefully it wont cost too many points. Will have a play later and see what rank I'm at, for some reason I think it's possibly a high end sergeant.

[Disturbed316]

Aparently there was an update last night for this, haven't recieved it over here yet though to my knowledge. Anyway, I played abit of this yesterday afternoon and actually did rather well. Managed to rank up to Staff Sergeant, whoopie!

[Requiem]

Was it the main patch they've been talking about, or just a small hotfix to fix some bugs?

[Requiem]

Also, still Captain.. but a RL friend just hit Lieutenant Colonel. It takes an insanely long time to level once you get to the officer ranks. :( We played a good 10 games and won and he barely went up at all. Even at Captain it's going hella slow for me.

[Extreme Angle]

I play it but not often gamertag is funkbro, will play it alot more often with the new content

[Disturbed316]

I think the update was just to fix afew bugs and the boost glitch.

[Disturbed316]

Found a nice little group/clan to play with the last couple of nights, very friendly and a right laugh to play with. Ranked up to Sergeant First Class after playing till 4am for the two nights straight, FUCK SLEEP!

[Requiem]

Yeah, once I find a couple people who are fun to play with, I tend to stick with them for a while.

We found a couple guys in a clan who were a great laugh.. we started playing with them and played literally a good 30-40+ team sharpshooter games over the past few weeks and lost only one or two, and it was always due to other people on the team quitting and leaving us outnumbered. That, and I think in one of the games we were playing pistols only (our team, not the other).

We tend to do a lot of games using pistols only. I'm getting amazing with an MK, and sometimes for laughs I'll use the deagle.

[Requiem]

What's your XBL tag? I'll add you and send you a message if we're playing some time and you're on.

[Disturbed316]

The thing that most annoys me about online is when hosts restrict stuff. I can see why some people might think grenades and incendarys are cheap, but if you are actually good you can avoid them. Why hosts restrict guns aswell is beyond me, so its been nice to find some people who let everything go and you can just have fun and enjoy that game without whiney fags.

I've recently been using the FAMAS and have racked up quite a few kills with that baby. Used the MP9 abit but fancied something abit more chunky.

[Requiem]

Yeah, I hate when people restrict stuff. Usually they leave C4, which is even more annoying..

I'll normally switch to a gas mask and smoke. Most people expect tear gas, but smoke has so many more benefits. Pisses me off when people restrict weapons too, as I normally carry the SPAS and MK pistol. Often, they'll restrict all shotguns.

I find the UMP45 to be the best weapon overall though. It's got a much longer range than it says. In maps like Killhouse and Streets (the only ones I usually play), it is an amazing weapon. It amazes me that people actually bother with a sniper rifle in those maps, because then you get screwed if someone gets up close to you.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, I've pretty much got Kill house and street maps locked down, aswell as LVU campus from the Bravo side, very rarely play anyothers than those ones, although the casino levels are always a laugh.

Was wondering about the sniper rifle achievement, can you get it even if you run around shooting guys without looking through the scope? Sounds dumb I know but have never used one so haven't got a clue how they work in this game.

[Requiem]

Yeah, it only matters that you're using a sniper rifle.

Streets <3

Alpha has the best side, but it's not hard to win from Bravo side if you know what you're doing. It's just easier to camp Bravo side's base.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, Alpha normally has the advantage on most maps, but I guess if your that good at the game, it doesn't really matter where you start.

[Requiem]

Love getting in the base and camping with an MK. :cool: Pretty much the greatest thing to just see kill after kill come up, and your team just starts cracking up.

I've had several occassions when we were beating the other team so bad that I was in their base with a shottie, and I switch to a pistol to make it easier for them. Then I get 4 kills in a row not even trying.. rofl. I'm usually just like "OMG.. this is crazy *kill* WTF *kill* HOLY SHIT *kill*" and then finally they'll freak out and all charge at once and mow me down, or a stray grenade nails me. :(

[Disturbed316]

I remember in one game four of my team climbed up the left building and four went in the right building and camped at the end. On someones signal everyone chucked their grenades through the windows, after all the lag went from the explosions we somehow managed to rack up about 11 kills, was so funny hearing peoples reactions to it.

[Requiem]

rofl, I love just coming up with ways to kill people.

[Disturbed316]

Was playing for about 7 hours straight the other night, didn't go to bed till gone 5am :( Made Master Sergeant though and got me a Raging Bull :cool:

[Requiem]

Get online and join my gammeeeee bitch.

[Requiem]

Yeah so, I'm probably not going to get to play anymore. =( Pretty disappointed about that. The place I play is closing.. BUT, if one of their rivals buys their xboxes, they said they might have a job (paying job) for me there. So I might get to play.

[Disturbed316]

Got your message last night but you weren't on by the time I got it. I probably would have done pretty awfull though as I was totally off my game last night, only won two games and lost a whole bunch, worst night for a long time :(

Where do you play it from then, is it some kind of console arcade or something?

[Requiem]

Yeah. DS and I, and another friend (doesn't post here) basically open/close a local gaming center. They've got PCs and 360's, and we've played for free ever since it opened since we basically helped set everything up, and we help run it in our spare time. I might be on one last time later today, but not sure.. Hoping to get a 360 from the guy as compensation for the 6 months of help. So if I can, I'll probably be starting over from scratch with a new live account, as the one I used wasn't mine. But, I did all the leveling on it because the owner of the account didn't play R6.

Wouldn't have mattered even if youw ere having an off day.. I started off bad with my first game, and the second game I played I came back and had 30-something kills and like 4 deaths. Was just on top of it for the rest of the day. You would have won playing with us anyways. :D

[Disturbed316]

I'm had real troubles finding a gun that worked for me last night, must have changed it at least 7 times. I really cant wait for the new stuff to come out, I wanna try something else other than whats already playable.

[Requiem]

Man, I miss this game. :'( I needs me a job so I can buy a 360 and R6. And Mass Effect when it comes out.

[G]

up to first sergeant

[Disturbed316]

Haven't played for about two weeks now due Castlevania, I've really got to get back in the game.

[G]

sergeant major w/ 3 bars :(


this takes forever :(

[G]

major, bitches

[G]

takes 28 t-hunt wins to gain a bar :(

[Disturbed316]

Still haven't played for donkey's, that will change when Red Pack comes out though.

[G]

when and what is red pack (obviously expansion, but details please)

[Disturbed316]

It's what they are calling the 5 new maps and two new game modes. It should be out any time soon.

[G]

do u know of what the game modes are

[G]

also, when i see your gamertag come online, i always think it's a black guy for some reason. (that's why we never play together)

[Disturbed316]

lol why's that?

Anyway the two new game modes are Assassination and Total Conquest. In Assassination, one player on the defending team is randomly selected to play as the VIP and must be safely escorted by his teammates to a spot on the other side of the map. The attacking team wins if it kills the VIP.

Total Conquest is a lot like the territories mode found in Halo 2. Scattered around the level are three radar installations that can be captured. If your team controls a radar installation, you begin to earn control points. The more radar installations that you control, the faster you accumulate points. The first team to hit the designated victory level wins.

Partly ripped from Gamespot.

[G]

njackson for some reason makes me think of samual jackson and chappelle

[Disturbed316]

lol well seeing njackson next to your avatar, I can see where your coming from.

[G]

and i always shout in my head "A FUCKIN SHARK ATE ME", then i would giggle like a school girl and my wife would call me retarded.

[Disturbed316]

Had the unfortunate task of being the VIP in Assassination last night, got two kills by shooting guys in the face though and escaped :cool:

[Requiem]

I miss this game, and I wish I could play the new game modes. :(

[G]

made LC niggers

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is there any way to play the mode that allows you to advance in rank while offline, or is it strictly an XBL mode, because we do not have high-enough speed internet to connect to XBL where I live, so I just thought I'd ask cause it sounds hella fun.:(

[G]

xbl

[Requiem]

Is there any way to play the mode that allows you to advance in rank while offline, or is it strictly an XBL mode, because we do not have high-enough speed internet to connect to XBL where I live, so I just thought I'd ask cause it sounds hella fun.:(

Only over XBL, but in the single player mode, you can still unlock the weapons by picking them up in game. (only for single player.. if you ever play online, you will be the lowest rank to start with and will have nothing unlocked) Unfortunately, you can't get armor or custom stuff like in online. One cool thing though is that if you ever do get online and create a custom avatar, you can use it in the single player stuff.. (I don't know if you can in campaign, but in the other game modes I am pretty sure you can if I remember right)

[Disturbed316]

Got promoted to First Sergeant the other night, hardly play now due to work at the moment though :(

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well, just an update. My cousin has now got a 360 with the ability to use XBL (silver, mind you), so, uh, yeah, maybe when I'm over to his place next Wed. PM, I'll see about getting in on the action. My tag is ag31781, but like I say, it's highly unlikely I'll be on again anytime before next Wed. afternoon.

[G]

you can't play on live with silver

[G]

also if you have just made your gamertag, please delete it and make a tag that is far more creative and less gay/generic. (something without a shitload of numbers)

[G]

imma colonel

[DS]

Did they fix the sharpshooter glitch? Because I really don't want to have to climb all the way back up to where I was with horrible players on my team.

[G]

what glitch

[DS]

The points glitch that gave you thousands of points every round.

[G]

yes, there are no more point glitches. which is awesome because i hate playing with high ranks who are horrible. earn them the right way. :mad:

[Requiem]

Yeah, it's gonna suck having to get back up to my old rank, because I did everything on a friend's account due to not having an xbox of my own. He didn't play R6, so everything on it was my doing. Took soooo long. :(

[DS]

I have earned them. I just started a new live account and don't want to do it again.

Granted, I did the points glitch before, but I wasn't horrible. Still played plenty of games.

[G]

you should put TPW as your clan.

[G]

ELITE




by default, i am now better than all of you. :D

[Disturbed316]

Havne't played for ages, I really need to step things up.

[G]

custom camo is sexxxxxxy

[Extreme Angle]

G, All you play is Team terrorist hunt on LVU...
Is that how you get points?

[G]

not anymore :D

[Requiem]

lol, what you waited until you got to Elite to even play online? Not gonna lie, I could probably beat you just using a pistol.

[G]

uhhhh, no? hit me up sometime, and see about that pistol thing you're talking about.

[Requiem]

Also, if I do happen to beat you keep in mind that I don't own an xbox and have only ever played this game on other people's xboxes. DS says he has played with you though, and from what he tells me I am pretty sure I could beat you. I will be using his XBL account when we do this.

If the pistol thing happens to fail me and you are better than I thought, I guarantee I can beat you with a normal weapon. Just saying I could 'probably' beat you with a pistol.

[G]

Well, keep in mind that DS has only played with me in T hunt, not any VS modes, and it's hard to win all the time when you play with people who aren't on the same page as you. I'm not a fan of sharpshooter, so that's why no one see's me in those rooms.

I usually play Assassination, which is fucking sweet as hell. I urge everyone to get the red pack so they get that mode along with the new maps, which are awesome too. :y:

[Disturbed316]

Terrorist Hunt on LVU is the easest mode to get points. Especially if you Sheild/Pistol it all the time.

[G]

yeah, that's why a lot of people play that mode to rank up. shield/pistol people are pussies.

[Extreme Angle]

Whats the difference in points on lvu terrorist between realistic and normal? and where's respawns?

[G]

200-600 i believe...no respawns

[Requiem]

So what's your name G? Stephan?

[G]

:cool:
